00:00:00
Like, regimented or schedule it.
00:00:01
Hey, I have from 12 to 7 or 8 PM to eat food, and I can one meal.
00:00:07
I can eat three meals.
00:00:08
That's what I eat.
00:00:09
Yeah.
00:00:10
Obviously, don't binge on crap, but kinda what we've already talked about.
00:00:13
Keep it clean.
00:00:14
But then the rest of the time, you just don't eat.
00:00:16
Mhmm.
00:00:17
And, you know, there's there's hacks.
00:00:18
There's water.
00:00:18
You're obviously drinking water with electrolytes, tea, coffee in the morning, stuff
00:00:22
like that will your body to, you know, have substance in it.
00:00:26
Yeah.
00:00:26
But without, like, having to give it any calories.
00:00:29
Welcome to the, you, a full few podcasts.
00:00:33
I'm your host, Matt Teck.
00:00:35
Alfred Dolesy.
00:00:36
Doctor.
00:00:37
Doctor.
00:00:37
Albert Dolesy.
00:00:38
I just
00:00:38
And we're gonna be talking about one of my favorite topics today, as well as yours, and
00:00:43
we're gonna be talking about fasting.
00:00:46
Love it, man.
00:00:47
I mean, it's it's part of the it's fuel.
00:00:50
Yeah.
00:00:51
It's definitely fuel
00:00:52
Yeah.
00:00:52
Without having actual fuel.
00:00:54
It's a great way.
00:00:55
Yeah.
00:00:55
Yeah.
00:00:56
Without having, like, exogenous fuel.
00:00:58
Right.
00:00:58
Exactly.
00:00:58
You're using what your body has inside.
00:01:00
100%.
00:01:01
Yeah.
00:01:02
That's great.
00:01:02
It's, I think we talked about in the previous episode of it's honestly allowing your body to
00:01:09
relax.
00:01:10
And that no, I was thinking about it.
00:01:11
It's like giving a relaxation period to your body.
00:01:16
Considering me overwork it all the time.
00:01:19
But, yeah, let's let's dive right in and then take us take us through a couple of
00:01:23
Yeah.
00:01:23
Yeah.
00:01:23
You know, you know, that, like, what you just said is it's giving your body a break, right,
00:01:28
from the constant stuff in our face all day long, right, which is, like, a lot of what
00:01:32
this, like, culture promotes, right, everywhere you go, there's signs and stuff like, get this.
00:01:37
Get this.
00:01:38
Yeah.
00:01:38
Love it.
00:01:39
It and and these foods which we've touched on before, but I'll I'll just kinda reiterate they
00:01:44
are meant to make you want more.
00:01:46
Mhmm.
00:01:46
Right?
00:01:46
They're meant to be addictive.
00:01:47
So much sugar, so much processed stuff that's meant to be easy to eat a lot of very quickly.
00:01:52
Right?
00:01:53
And so, like, if you think about it, like, the foods that are are harder to eat quickly and a
00:01:58
lot of tend to be better for you.
00:01:59
Right?
00:01:59
Like, how quickly can you eat, like, a nice, like, grass fed steak and broccoli?
00:02:04
Not that fast.
00:02:05
You gotta chew that stuff up, man.
00:02:06
You gotta you gotta break that down and get it in rather than, like, a, like, a bag of
00:02:11
Cheetos.
00:02:11
Yeah.
00:02:12
It dissolves in your mouth, and it's, like, got so much flavors to say you could You can learn,
00:02:16
like, terrain compared to your oh, man.
00:02:18
Well, you should be able
00:02:19
to drive it around and drink it for a good chance.
00:02:21
You're like, oh, I hate that.
00:02:24
I've done it, but
00:02:25
Bring it.
00:02:25
Just like Yeah.
00:02:26
Shaking the bag of the chips.
00:02:27
That's right.
00:02:28
The way the bottom of the You
00:02:29
gotta get the crumbles.
00:02:30
Just the remnants.
00:02:31
Yeah.
00:02:33
Go all over your face.
00:02:34
Yeah.
00:02:34
But yeah.
00:02:35
But yeah.
00:02:36
I mean, that's a that's the whole concept of fasting.
00:02:39
Right?
00:02:39
It's like hitting the reset button.
00:02:40
Giving your body a break, allowing the the body to start to process some of the stuff that's
00:02:45
been in there.
00:02:47
The term is autophagy.
00:02:48
Right, which I know we wanted to get into this a little bit.
00:02:50
Yeah.
00:02:51
So I'll talk a little bit about it.
00:02:52
You talk a little bit about it, but essentially, Autophagy is, like, is like
00:02:56
cellular cleanup.
00:02:57
So your cells are always working.
00:02:58
They're they're processing.
00:03:00
And this is all the cells in your body.
00:03:02
Right?
00:03:02
They have to they have to work on databases.
00:03:04
It's like machinery.
00:03:05
Right?
00:03:05
Yeah.
00:03:05
But if it's constantly going, the the during that process, there is waste that occurs,
00:03:10
right, selling their waste.
00:03:12
And so these these cells that basically die, they're called senescent cells.
00:03:16
They're dying off.
00:03:17
They have to be processed and cleaned out.
00:03:19
And that's what a top of g is.
00:03:20
It's it's self eating is what the term means, auto phagey.
00:03:23
Right?
00:03:23
So your body has to basically eat those cells, get rid of them, get them out.
00:03:28
Mhmm.
00:03:28
But if you're constantly bringing in new stuff, it it's like, well, we gotta process this new
00:03:32
stuff before we process that stuff.
00:03:34
So it's constantly working, and it doesn't have time.
00:03:36
That's where fasting comes in.
00:03:38
And and your body's able to kinda reset, recharge, clean up, get everything out, and and
00:03:44
be ready for what's next.
00:03:46
And how cool is that process to think about is that your body, literally, through not eating,
00:03:52
you still hydration is always beneficial.
00:03:55
Because you wanna be feeding those cells with hydration so that they actually can't move
00:03:59
their hydrated.
00:03:59
But is that they can start attacking the bad cells that are in your body.
00:04:04
Right?
00:04:05
The bad cells that eventually become inflammatory and then work against you to
00:04:11
create rheumatoid arthritis
00:04:13
Yeah.
00:04:13
To create that are creating cancerous cells that are eventually gonna invade your body in
00:04:18
turn into something that you don't want to later in life.
00:04:20
Yeah.
00:04:20
And through an element of fasting and autophagy, that that's a controllable.
00:04:25
You can eat less.
00:04:26
Yeah.
00:04:26
Right?
00:04:27
Yeah.
00:04:28
And those those cells, they age you.
00:04:30
Right?
00:04:30
They they cause your body to age.
00:04:31
Right?
00:04:31
The system that causes breakdown of tissue and stuff like that.
00:04:34
So people who fast tend to feel younger, look younger, right, have more energy.
00:04:40
Right?
00:04:40
I know you fast what Would you say daily or
00:04:44
Yeah.
00:04:44
Honestly, I got in a really good, cadence with my fasting schedule because it was always
00:04:50
really hard when you're fasting, like, in a waking period.
00:04:54
Right?
00:04:54
So, like, that waking period is, you know, I I, like, maybe stop that dinner, and then I'm
00:05:01
gonna go 24 hours or I eat breakfast, and I'm gonna go the entire day, right, whereas I found
00:05:07
a cadence in this happened, like, just even a couple months ago through reading Doctor Mark
00:05:11
Hamid's book.
00:05:12
He just gave, like, some hours in there as, like, ideas.
00:05:15
Yeah.
00:05:15
And so I fight I find that, like, stop eating at dinner and then picking back up again around
00:05:21
10:30 the next day,
00:05:23
Yeah.
00:05:23
It gives me roughly around, you know, I sometimes I'll eat a little bit for about,
00:05:28
like, 14 to 16 hour fast.
00:05:30
Yeah.
00:05:31
And what's cool, and I found out is that I do things on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday that
00:05:39
accelerate my autophagy.
00:05:40
I did not know you could accelerate but you can accelerate it through cold cold punch, you
00:05:45
know.
00:05:45
Yes.
00:05:46
So my metabolism working, the body has to, like, work.
00:05:49
So I obviously cold plunge for 3 minutes before I go work out.
00:05:52
So doing those 2 things, really push the autophagy process faster
00:06:01
Yeah.
00:06:01
That so some people that are gonna have that same fasting window, 14 to 16 hours, they might
00:06:09
only get 2 hours of, autophagy in there.
00:06:13
But considering that I'm doing a few more things that extend that process or accelerate
00:06:18
that process.
00:06:18
Yeah.
00:06:18
I might be getting 4 or
00:06:20
5.
00:06:20
Yeah.
00:06:20
So what day it's been a really cool and it seemed massive benefits in terms of,
00:06:27
just the way my body feels.
00:06:27
I mean,
00:06:27
just the I was showing you that I could I could jump over that.
00:06:33
That was all high, jumped over the counter essentially.
00:06:36
Yeah.
00:06:36
Yeah.
00:06:37
Well, I gotta get something real quick.
00:06:38
We're just gonna jump over this counter instead of walk around.
00:06:40
That's right.
00:06:41
Yeah.
00:06:43
I I I 100% couldn't do that a few years ago.
00:06:47
Yeah.
00:06:47
But just being in tune, Yeah.
00:06:50
And those things, man, I'm telling you, joints feel better.
00:06:54
The body just naturally feels better.
00:06:55
Yeah.
00:06:56
You don't have that waist hanging around.
00:06:57
Right?
00:06:58
You don't have that extra oxidize stuff, right, because your body has to do something with it.
00:07:02
So it's gonna start to process it and be like you said, it becomes inflammatory and you feel
00:07:07
it.
00:07:08
Tell me a little bit about, like okay.
00:07:10
So most people think fasting has to be this, like, starvation, like, I look Like, you know,
00:07:15
I'm gonna feel like crap.
00:07:16
I'm gonna be hungry, like, all that.
00:07:19
What's your what's your time frame?
00:07:21
So just then we'll and I can share mine as well.
00:07:24
But, like, when do you stop eating at night?
00:07:25
And then when do you start?
00:07:27
Yeah.
00:07:27
So it's nice to have, like, a set thing.
00:07:29
Most people could operate with that, you know.
00:07:31
My biggest meal is always dinner.
00:07:33
Yeah.
00:07:33
Like, it's I have my biggest meal.
00:07:35
So, like, I'll have that's where my calorically dense meals are.
00:07:39
Are, a little bit later in the day.
00:07:41
And that's, like, breaking the, like, traditional, like, breakfast is the most
00:07:43
important meal.
00:07:44
Like, you know Oh, yeah.
00:07:45
Let's No.
00:07:46
Because that's marketing.
00:07:47
Well, I wouldn't be able to talk to you Yeah.
00:07:50
As clearly as I am right now.
00:07:52
Let me sleep.
00:07:53
If I, yeah, if I had big breakfast.
00:07:54
Yeah.
00:07:54
Oh, it would definitely slow me down.
00:07:56
So I actually prefer this, like, kind of window now that I create for myself is because I
00:08:01
definitely am more optimized in the mornings.
00:08:06
And then, you know, later in the day, honestly, I, I tightened up my work days.
00:08:11
Like, it's, you know, some stuff here and there, but I I don't work a ton at the back end
00:08:14
of the day.
00:08:15
Just because I know I I need to fit so much more in the beginning.
00:08:18
So that's why
00:08:19
I wake up at 4:45 AM.
00:08:20
Yeah.
00:08:21
Alright?
00:08:21
Get the things.
00:08:22
My my things that I need to get knocked out work basically up until noon pretty hard.
00:08:28
And then, you know, I'll take some meetings on the back end of the day.
00:08:31
But for me, it's definitely stop eating at 6.
00:08:35
I want a snack, dude.
00:08:36
I've been doing this really weird thing.
00:08:39
It's it's slightly empowering, but, like, not at the same time.
00:08:43
But, like, my wife, so we're not on the same schedule.
00:08:47
She doesn't fast, and there there definitely is some processed foods in there, but at the same
00:08:52
time, like, I don't I'm not always doing the grocery.
00:08:55
Right.
00:08:56
I order our meats now.
00:08:57
Yeah.
00:08:57
Kids, man.
00:08:58
Yeah.
00:08:58
Exactly.
00:08:59
Yeah.
00:08:59
I order our meats, which are really easy because and we'll we'll actually give this as
00:09:03
an affiliate.
00:09:04
If you're in the central Florida, if you're in either in Jacksonville, Tampa, or Orlando, we
00:09:09
get grass fed.
00:09:10
And with, we'll have a full fueled 10% off for anyone that wants to order, but it's a local
00:09:17
pickup so you can get that every month.
00:09:18
I'll grasp it.
00:09:19
What's the name of the farm?
00:09:20
Fred Oaks Farms.
00:09:21
Fred Oaks.
00:09:22
So they're, they're part of they're actually part a it's actually where we have our mushroom
00:09:27
farm, where we grow, actually, the lion's main mushroom is there.
00:09:30
Also, we've partnered up with them, and we'll offer that to our audience.
00:09:34
But so what's really cool is that I will go in.
00:09:38
Sometimes I look at the refrigerator and say, nope.
00:09:39
They close it, dude.
00:09:39
I'm like, And it's like, if this empowers big, is that, like, I can say no to food after a
00:09:48
certain time.
00:09:48
So I'll stop eating at, like, usually around 7 is, like, the latest, and then I'll pick back
00:09:55
up again about 10:30 AM the next day.
00:09:58
Alright.
00:09:58
Let's let's dig on that a little bit because most people can't do that.
00:10:01
Right?
00:10:01
Most people, they they open the fridge and they see a twink gear.
00:10:04
I don't know, twink start in the fridge, but, like, they see something.
00:10:06
Right?
00:10:06
They last longer version.
00:10:08
Yeah.
00:10:08
She probably might taste better too, but they see whatever's in the fridge, and it's like,
00:10:12
it's not even it's impulsive.
00:10:14
Right?
00:10:14
And ice that way.
00:10:15
Right?
00:10:15
It just seemed like in high school rush, eat everything.
00:10:17
It was just like, you just open it and you grab what's there and you start eating it.
00:10:20
And that's that mind.
00:10:22
I think that's that mindless kind of just like I have to eat something.
00:10:25
Yeah.
00:10:25
Right?
00:10:26
Whereas, like, if you can be intentional about like, no, I am gonna be fasting for the next
00:10:31
16, 20, whatever hours.
00:10:33
Yeah.
00:10:33
Like, I don't need that.
00:10:34
I'm I can do without it.
00:10:36
Right?
00:10:36
How long did it take you to get there?
00:10:38
Right?
00:10:38
So were you always like that, or was that?
00:10:39
No way, man.
00:10:40
I, like, always wanted to you just wanna grab stuff.
00:10:43
Right?
00:10:43
And, you know, the the environment, right, So if I'm working from home and I'm I have to go
00:10:48
through the kitchen to the bathroom Mhmm.
00:10:50
Like, I'm in the kitchen and naturally there's gonna be triggers that pop of, like, oh, man.
00:10:56
There's food in here.
00:10:57
Yeah.
00:10:57
Like and then I'm just, like, coniferous.
00:11:00
I'm just, like,
00:11:01
And I just I'm hungry.
00:11:02
You know, I just gotta eat something.
00:11:03
Turns to an animal.
00:11:04
You do.
00:11:05
And, it the that it it It's just something I don't know when it actually clicked of, like, I
00:11:11
did that, and then I just shut it because I'm like, yeah.
00:11:13
No.
00:11:13
And, like, I told myself, no, or I opened up the refrigerator, no.
00:11:17
In fact, you know what it was, is when I made the decision that I was no longer gonna have
00:11:23
refined sugars in my diet, right, Cool.
00:11:25
And so I always, wanted to, like, whenever I open something up, I I definitely look at
00:11:31
things now.
00:11:32
That is, like, one major thing that I've, like, completely restrict out of my diet.
00:11:36
Yeah.
00:11:37
And it's, like, really hard because, dude, I love ice If there's, like, something I love,
00:11:41
it's just, like, I would eat, like, a whole gallon.
00:11:46
I don't
00:11:47
know anyone who does the, like, ice cream is, like, it's meant to
00:11:50
be it's a sugar fat bro.
00:11:51
Yeah.
00:11:51
It's meant to be amazing, you know.
00:11:53
It's just so amazing.
00:11:55
Yeah.
00:11:55
And that creates that, like, You know what I mean?
00:11:58
Sometimes we'll go out to Bo's or whatever.
00:12:00
That's a special scenario.
00:12:03
But at the same time, like, at home, I don't do not eat refined sugars, even though they're
00:12:09
there.
00:12:09
And I started saying, no.
00:12:10
No.
00:12:11
No.
00:12:11
No.
00:12:12
Yeah.
00:12:12
So now that has transitioned to, like, Like, do I need a snack?
00:12:16
Am I just eating to eat at this point?
00:12:19
Yeah.
00:12:20
And then I'll, like, you know, obviously pop in a nutritious, pouch.
00:12:23
I do snack on something throughout the day.
00:12:26
So, like, if I need just, like, calories in my diet, I will do those do that, but I do get you
00:12:32
know, every day I get roughly around, like, 14 to 16 hour of a fast and obviously crossing
00:12:38
days, until I break the fast from from, from the night before.
00:12:43
I think that's encouraging, man, for for people who have never even tried fasting or thought of
00:12:48
it or the thought of saying no to a snack, you know, it's, like, weird.
00:12:52
I think that's encouraging that, like, hey, like, here you are, you fast daily, you are in
00:12:57
great shape.
00:12:57
You do all these other things, but you weren't always there.
00:12:59
Right?
00:13:00
No way.
00:13:00
Dude, it takes intention.
00:13:01
It takes time, but it's like those habits become they start as conscious and becomes
00:13:06
unconscious.
00:13:07
Right?
00:13:07
So it's like, you have to consciously at the beginning and be like, no, I'm not gonna eat
00:13:10
that Right.
00:13:11
That bag of gummy worms.
00:13:13
And then, you know, whatever amount of time later that you develop that that skill or that
00:13:17
fortitude, it becomes like you don't even look at the gummy worms.
00:13:20
That's right.
00:13:21
Like, I drive down the street, and I don't even notice fast food restaurants.
00:13:24
People be like, oh, it's it's by the McDonald's on the corner.
00:13:27
I'm like, where?
00:13:28
Like, so
00:13:28
I'm like, oh, there's like, there's like, grocery store there.
00:13:31
I know that.
00:13:32
Right?
00:13:32
Because I took my groceries, but, like, just don't register that because I've trained myself
00:13:36
to not even consider that food.
00:13:37
That's right.
00:13:38
Right?
00:13:38
Cause it's it's just not part of my my life, but Oh.
00:13:42
The, when I used to work at Accenture, I was about £235, dude.
00:13:47
I was up freaking I was a big boy, and I my head was a frigging bowling baller.
00:13:53
And every day, like, I could not.
00:13:55
They had this big bowl of candy.
00:13:59
Every time I came out, I was, like, I ate, I ate a piece of candy.
00:14:02
Like, it was, like, literally and I would go to the bathroom, like, three, four times after he
00:14:05
rakes of water, whatever.
00:14:06
I'd go, Like, I had to eat candy candy candy candy.
00:14:09
Just shove it in my mouth.
00:14:11
So is that £235 super undisciplined, like, Oh, yeah.
00:14:15
I'm young.
00:14:16
You know what I mean?
00:14:16
I'm
00:14:17
twenty.
00:14:17
Right.
00:14:17
I'm twenty six, twenty seven years old.
00:14:19
Like, I can eat this.
00:14:20
Like, oh, I can get but that's what people say.
00:14:23
Right?
00:14:24
Oh, I I can you build those habits
00:14:26
Yeah.
00:14:26
Whenever in life.
00:14:27
It doesn't matter if you're, like, eighty years old.
00:14:29
You can still build those habits and still feel better.
00:14:31
I truly believe that as well.
00:14:33
But that, like, discipline of, like, oh, because I'm young, that means I won't get sick.
00:14:39
That's not true at all.
00:14:40
Yeah.
00:14:40
Like, you want to build your habits
00:14:44
earlier, rather than, like, then later, even though you even though you
00:14:44
can create those disciplinary habits,
00:14:49
Yeah.
00:14:49
I just happened to be, like, then in my thirties.
00:14:51
And I'm like, you know what?
00:14:54
Like, I'm gonna start building healthier And then it that was a long process in terms of,
00:14:59
like, where I'm at now.
00:15:00
Like
00:15:01
Yeah.
00:15:01
But snacks were a huge thing.
00:15:02
I would like snack.
00:15:03
I would eat a bowl of chips.
00:15:05
Like, at 8 PM because it was comfort.
00:15:08
Right?
00:15:08
Yeah.
00:15:08
That's right.
00:15:09
Not a healthy way to not a healthy lifestyle.
00:15:11
In fact, it it one thing again, impacts your sleep when you do that.
00:15:15
Yeah.
00:15:15
For sure.
00:15:16
And and, yeah, maybe you can get away with
00:15:19
it when you're younger.
00:15:20
Right?
00:15:20
Like, I could eat whatever I wanted in college.
00:15:22
Doesn't mean I should.
00:15:23
Right?
00:15:24
That that food, even though I'm I'm not gaining weight, right, and that external isn't
00:15:29
changing.
00:15:29
Like, I was shredded in college, but, like, you know, just because I I could look like that
00:15:34
doesn't mean the inside's not being affected.
00:15:36
Yeah.
00:15:36
Right.
00:15:36
What does that process food and all that that junk do into my my cells?
00:15:40
Right?
00:15:40
That's what making them.
00:15:41
That's right.
00:15:43
Yeah, let's, you know, so you do more of, like, a intermittent fast, which is what I would call
00:15:48
that.
00:15:48
Right?
00:15:48
So 16 hours.
00:15:49
Yeah.
00:15:49
True fasting is, like, a day or more, like, 24 hours, right, if you're talking about an actual
00:15:53
fast.
00:15:54
So you can say intermittent fasting.
00:15:55
You call it time restricted eating, which is also another way to think about it.
00:15:59
Right?
00:15:59
You're just kind of, like, which is good for some people because it's like they some people
00:16:02
are just very, like, analytical with time.
00:16:04
They're like, well, I do this at this time.
00:16:06
I do that at that time.
00:16:07
Have this amount of time for work, blah blah blah family.
00:16:09
So then put your food in that too.
00:16:11
Right?
00:16:11
Like like regimented or schedule it.
00:16:13
Hey, I have from 12 to 7 or 8 PM to eat food.
00:16:18
And I can eat one meal.
00:16:19
I can eat three meals.
00:16:20
That's what I eat.
00:16:21
Yeah.
00:16:22
Obviously, don't binge on crap.
00:16:23
Kind of what we've already talked about, keep it clean, but then the rest of the time, you
00:16:28
just don't eat.
00:16:28
Mhmm.
00:16:29
And, you know, there's there's hacks.
00:16:30
There's water.
00:16:30
You're obviously drinking water with electrolytes.
00:16:33
Tea, coffee in the morning, stuff like that will help your body to, you know, have
00:16:37
substance in it.
00:16:38
Yeah.
00:16:38
But without, like, having to give it any calories.
00:16:41
Right?
00:16:42
And a true fast is 0 calories.
00:16:44
I know there's science that says, like, you can get, like, up to, like, 50 calories and still
00:16:48
be in a fasted state.
00:16:50
But, like, true fasting in my opinion is, like, just go.
00:16:53
Just go all in, right?
00:16:54
Don't, like, try to fight food and stuff.
00:16:55
Yeah.
00:16:57
Caffeine, though.
00:16:58
As far as coffee, is that something you or, no, you would say water only.
00:17:02
I don't know.
00:17:02
I I think coffee could actually help because it's thermogenic.
00:17:05
Right?
00:17:05
So if the goal of fasting is weight loss, that helps a lot.
00:17:07
It's gonna give your body a little bit of metabolism boost.
00:17:10
It's thermogenic on the on the system as well.
00:17:12
There's good vital nutrients in coffee.
00:17:14
Mhmm.
00:17:15
I think, organic coffee only.
00:17:17
Right?
00:17:17
Like, the most coffee out there is crazy moldy, right, and they don't they don't obviously
00:17:23
promote that.
00:17:23
But, try to stick to organic coffee if you can, then you're not just, like, burning the body
00:17:28
even more.
00:17:28
But, you know, so so time restricted eating or intermittent fasting is one way.
00:17:34
There's there's a a strategy called, like, one meal a day or people call it Omad.
00:17:38
If you I don't know if you've heard that acronym.
00:17:40
Omad now.
00:17:41
That one's a little tougher because then you gotta get all your calories in one meal.
00:17:44
And that's a freaking big meal.
00:17:46
Right?
00:17:46
So monster.
00:17:47
Most people tend to binge or or kinda just go crazy on those.
00:17:50
So hungry and they're like, well, I got this one meal.
00:17:52
I'm just gonna go get a large pizza.
00:17:54
Yeah.
00:17:54
Brissmash.
00:17:55
Dismash.
00:17:56
So you gotta have discipline there as well.
00:17:58
And then there's, like, doing, like, full day fast.
00:18:00
Maybe, like, one day a week, you just don't eat.
00:18:02
Yeah.
00:18:02
I love that.
00:18:03
I do that from time to time.
00:18:04
And there's times where I'm like, damn, I I didn't go shopping.
00:18:07
I was busy or something, and I don't have anything in here that I'm gonna eat.
00:18:10
I'm just not gonna eat.
00:18:11
Yeah.
00:18:11
And I'm not on freak out.
00:18:12
Right?
00:18:12
You you can just supplement and stuff like that to get you through it.
00:18:16
I think for the sake of starting that there's a lot for people.
00:18:20
Yeah.
00:18:20
So sticking to I just heard, something that and I and I've known this, but it was nice to hear
00:18:27
a confirmation study that 12 hours is kind of the minimum, right, where you get benefits 12
00:18:33
hours.
00:18:33
That's it.
00:18:34
That's so easy.
00:18:35
Most people probably do that already.
00:18:36
Even if you sleep for 7 hours.
00:18:38
You know?
00:18:39
So it's like,
00:18:39
don't eat after don't eat after 8.
00:18:41
Yeah.
00:18:41
And then don't eat before 8.
00:18:43
Yeah.
00:18:44
That's so easy.
00:18:45
So just and then over time, you just tack on an hour and tack on an hour.
00:18:49
Right?
00:18:49
I think that was for women.
00:18:51
Right?
00:18:51
So men is probably closer, like, 14.
00:18:53
Okay.
00:18:54
But still, that's that's very doable.
00:18:56
Yeah.
00:18:56
Most people just are are a little like, they don't know what they don't know.
00:19:01
Or they're scared of the unknown, you know, what about my blood sugar and that kind of
00:19:05
stuff, which kinda brings us into the next push I wanna talk about is that metabolic
00:19:08
flexibility piece.
00:19:10
Right?
00:19:11
If you donate for 5 hours or 4 hours during the day and you get shaky and you feel blood sugar
00:19:16
dropping, you are not metabolically flexible.
00:19:19
Your body does not know how to handle not having fuel coming in.
00:19:22
It doesn't know how to shift from that glycolytic sugar, carbohydrate consumption to
00:19:27
more of like a fat burning, right, and and using that as fuel.
00:19:32
That can be trained.
00:19:34
Right?
00:19:34
So I I always have to tell people this because they're like, well, I just can't.
00:19:37
I'm gonna get I'm gonna get shaky or I'm gonna feel low blood sugar.
00:19:40
Like, well, we have to work on it.
00:19:41
Right?
00:19:42
You push it a little bit to where you feel okay.
00:19:44
And then as you get better, you push it a little bit more.
00:19:46
You push it a little bit more.
00:19:47
And eventually, your body will adapt.
00:19:49
The body's a miraculous machine man.
00:19:50
It's it's meant to adapt to stress.
00:19:53
So, you know, metabolic flexibility essentially by concept is, like, being able to, one day, I
00:19:59
eat three meals a day.
00:20:00
It's just a normal day, and I'm I'm good at that.
00:20:02
And then the next day, I don't need it all.
00:20:04
Then the next day I fast for 12 hours.
00:20:06
Then the next day I eat It's Thanksgiving, and I go ham off the ham.
00:20:11
And then the next day, I I fast again.
00:20:14
Right?
00:20:14
So it's like being able to be flexible with it, which is, a a great term is is intuitive
00:20:21
fasting.
00:20:21
Kinda just like listening to your body.
00:20:23
Mhmm.
00:20:23
And there's a book by doctor Will Cole that I love.
00:20:26
I love that book, and I use a lot of those concepts because it's like, yeah, listen to
00:20:30
your body in that situation.
00:20:32
You have a higher stress day where you're gonna be burning a lot more calories.
00:20:35
You're gonna be exercising.
00:20:36
You got meetings.
00:20:37
Yeah.
00:20:37
You should probably have more fuel in your body.
00:20:39
Right?
00:20:39
Maybe fasting isn't the best in that day.
00:20:41
Right?
00:20:42
Like, like, stay at home moms or more even, like, working single moms.
00:20:46
Yeah.
00:20:46
Fast things probably not the best for that, right, that high stress state requires more
00:20:49
caloric intake, requires more fuel.
00:20:51
Mhmm.
00:20:52
People who say maybe you have an off day and you're just gonna be chilling fast that day.
00:20:55
Right?
00:20:55
Like, you're not you're not gonna be overly burning stuff.
00:20:58
So it's like, being able to be flexible, listen to your body, and what it needs, and respond.
00:21:02
And I don't think enough people listen.
00:21:04
I think they're able to just impossibly making decisions, you know, just going through the the
00:21:08
motions.
00:21:09
Yeah.
00:21:09
So my my thought process too, it you wanna make sure you know what
00:21:19
If you wanna hear your question answered live on the show, submit it to ask at fullfuel.com.
00:21:26
Check out the optimizers program where we build max muscle, improve longevity, and get guys
00:21:30
freaking shredded that they can crush it at life for as long as possible.
00:21:34
Live for fuel.
00:21:34
Lead the on limits, baby.
00:21:39
You're going into as well.
00:21:41
So and I'll give case in point.
00:21:44
If you're going into a board meeting, and you need to recall information, and you need to be
00:21:51
very in tune from a neurological, and you need to have you need to understand it is maybe
00:21:57
slightly faster or a small portion of that allows you to bother to operate with as minimal
00:22:03
as calories as possible.
00:22:04
Yeah.
00:22:04
But being neurologically focused.
00:22:07
If you are a stay at home mom and you need that and you are burning, at a higher rate, right,
00:22:14
not to saying your gig isn't important, but at the same time, your caloric intake can look a
00:22:20
little bit in in terms of, well, like, what you're putting into your body because there's
00:22:23
movement involved there.
00:22:24
Right.
00:22:25
So neurological focus is, like, a really big piece So what I'm doing right now Yeah.
00:22:30
Is that I didn't want a ton of calories in me.
00:22:32
Wanted a small finite amount of calories in order to make sure I'm optimized, thinking
00:22:36
clearly.
00:22:37
Right.
00:22:37
Not stumbling over my words or stoupling over my word.
00:22:41
I wish I
00:22:42
Literally just stoubling.
00:22:43
Literally.
00:22:44
That's okay.
00:22:45
But, yeah, man.
00:22:46
And and a lot of it is, like, fasting is a bit of a stress.
00:22:49
Right?
00:22:50
It's a Hormatic stress.
00:22:51
Yeah.
00:22:51
Hormesis is, like, good stress on the body.
00:22:53
Things like exercise, things like, sauna, cold, the stuff that you do.
00:22:57
Yeah.
00:22:58
Fasting as well.
00:22:59
Right?
00:22:59
It it is stressful.
00:23:00
Right?
00:23:00
It it your body feels that impact of it.
00:23:02
It feels discomfort, and that's where the adaptation comes over time too.
00:23:07
Mhmm.
00:23:07
But I don't like to attack stress on stress.
00:23:10
So, you know, if someone's life is is already stressful and crazy, like, I'm probably not
00:23:14
gonna recommend fasting right away.
00:23:15
It's like, let's manage that.
00:23:16
Let's let's do some some, interventions to get you a little bit more controlled in that area,
00:23:22
figure out how we can, like, supplement and stuff.
00:23:24
And then from there, get into maybe let's do some lasting.
00:23:27
Yeah.
00:23:27
And all depends on goals.
00:23:29
It depends on what people are trying to achieve.
00:23:30
Like, what what are you looking to get from it?
00:23:33
Right.
00:23:33
Because, right, we talked about the benefits, obviously, autophagy, longevity, huge mental
00:23:38
clarity, weight loss.
00:23:39
Right?
00:23:40
That's a big one.
00:23:41
And that's a big part of what I do in my practice is weight loss, and it's, you know,
00:23:44
you you don't eat 2 extra meals a day, you're already gonna be calorie restricted.
00:23:48
You just you just are.
00:23:49
Right?
00:23:50
Like, most people start fasting, they're gonna lose weight.
00:23:52
That's just how it goes.
00:23:53
Right?
00:23:53
Unless they're somehow eating 6000 calories in one meal.
00:23:58
I don't know if peep anyone could do that, bro.
00:24:00
That's, like, so hard to do that so much.
00:24:03
That, like, I don't I don't know if that volume is even possible.
00:24:06
I couldn't.
00:24:07
Yeah.
00:24:08
Yeah.
00:24:08
Well, people miss out on, though, is, like, how many calories you actually drink.
00:24:12
Like, that too.
00:24:12
People would drink a lot of their calories.
00:24:15
Yeah.
00:24:15
And so it's like thousands of calories a day, especially if you're gonna put sugary things in
00:24:20
your coffee where then coffee turns into 5, 700 calories.
00:24:23
Right.
00:24:23
And it's insane.
00:24:25
You know, you're, like, massive coffee from Starbucks.
00:24:28
And then you load it up with, like, all this food, like and that's a good point is Yeah.
00:24:33
We talked about coffee earlier.
00:24:34
It has to be black coffee.
00:24:35
Yeah.
00:24:36
Black coffee plain green tea, you know, or or water, those are things that during a fast can
00:24:41
help you get through it without breaking the fast.
00:24:44
Right?
00:24:44
They almost are like aids, fasting aids, but you dump a bunch of calories like sugar and
00:24:48
then cream in the coffee, you're not a lot of fasting.
00:24:50
Yeah.
00:24:51
Now you're just spiking your blood sugar.
00:24:52
That in an hour that blood sugar's gonna drop, you're gonna feel like crap, and you're gonna
00:24:55
binge on whatever else.
00:24:56
Yeah.
00:24:56
Right?
00:24:57
So that's a lot of the the other piece of it, man, is like, Fasting helps you to get more of
00:25:01
a stable insulin spike after meals.
00:25:04
Right?
00:25:04
It's gonna keep you more like this versus I eat.
00:25:06
Boom.
00:25:07
Then I don't eat, then boom.
00:25:08
And that's what makes people feel lousy and makes you binge and want to pursue more, you
00:25:13
know, whatever.
00:25:14
Yeah.
00:25:14
Because your body's not it's it's so imbalanced.
00:25:18
Yeah.
00:25:18
Yeah.
00:25:18
That's that's huge.
00:25:19
What I've been I've been actually walking through a few guys through right now, and it's
00:25:23
been It's been really beneficial, but it's something that I started incorporating because
00:25:28
I wanted there to be, like, some level of traction, but I do this, like, brain priming in
00:25:32
the morning.
00:25:32
Cool.
00:25:33
Part of it, you know, I wake up.
00:25:34
I pray.
00:25:35
I then go into a cold plunge, but then I stretch.
00:25:38
I stretch the body as a modality to just like, elongate and be a little bit more present.
00:25:44
What's wild about it is it allowed me to be more present, like, with my hunger.
00:25:48
It's
00:25:48
like almost a meditative state.
00:25:50
That it it was like, okay.
00:25:52
You know, I'm going into this day, like, fasted, but it it just, like, with if you're
00:25:57
putting food in your body or, coffee in your body.
00:26:01
Like, I don't even do that now.
00:26:02
It's water.
00:26:03
Cool.
00:26:03
Then I'll drink coffee.
00:26:05
During during my fasted state, but those things that I've been doing have allowed me just to
00:26:11
get way more in tune
00:26:13
Yeah.
00:26:13
With how my body feels hey.
00:26:16
Do how do I, like, my left knee?
00:26:19
Did I, like, injure that?
00:26:20
What's going on there?
00:26:21
Yeah.
00:26:21
When I go into a, you know, a stretch, but, like, I have to be fasted, almost understand
00:26:26
that, and then also realizing, like, that improves my circulatory state.
00:26:29
Yeah.
00:26:32
Obviously, blood flowing through my body, the more elastic I become.
00:26:36
I know we're going off on a little bit different topic there, but, like, I have to be
00:26:39
fasted, really, to be in tune with like, my where my body is head to toe.
00:26:45
Yeah.
00:26:46
And it really, really helps me in the morning of having those primates, but specifically that
00:26:50
stretching component of, like, being fast at understanding where kind of, like, blood is
00:26:55
going.
00:26:55
Because that that really is You have more blood flow, the healthier you will be.
00:27:03
Right.
00:27:03
Like, naturally, like, you have more blood flow going to every single extremity in your body,
00:27:07
including your brain.
00:27:08
Like, you're gonna be a
00:27:09
lot of health stuff's gonna get where it's gotta go.
00:27:10
This one I get.
00:27:11
And you put in now it's now in your bloodstream has to it's gonna get there.
00:27:14
That's right.
00:27:14
Yeah.
00:27:14
And I like that you brought that up because fasting is like, another benefit, man, is it
00:27:18
does get you into a state of deeper consciousness.
00:27:21
Right?
00:27:21
You're unlocking different, you know, neurotrophic factors in the brain that are
00:27:25
being released to get you through that fasting Key tones are being burned.
00:27:28
You know, your body's gonna be because, you know, historically or traditionally, it's been
00:27:33
used for connecting with Right?
00:27:34
Or whatever your religion may be, connecting to that higher power, I believe, god.
00:27:39
And and so when I'm fasted and I feel those little it's a hunger.
00:27:43
Right?
00:27:43
My body give me little signals.
00:27:44
It's like, give that up.
00:27:45
Right?
00:27:45
Like, let me let me thank god for the fact that I can't eat on a daily basis.
00:27:49
Right?
00:27:49
You know, not starving.
00:27:51
Right?
00:27:51
Yeah.
00:27:51
And so it's, like, use it as opposed to, like, fear it.
00:27:55
Yeah.
00:27:55
Use that that that discomfort.
00:27:57
Use that.
00:27:57
The same way A lot of people go to the gym, right, but then they can't understand the
00:28:02
concept of fasting and being uncomfortable.
00:28:04
Yeah.
00:28:04
Working outside comfortable, Usually, there's some, like, stress and strain involved.
00:28:07
Like, you feel burned.
00:28:08
Right?
00:28:09
Yeah.
00:28:09
It's not comfortable, but you grow from that.
00:28:11
So, like, classing is very similar, man.
00:28:12
Like, grow from Yeah.
00:28:14
Or on, like, a conscious, mental level.
00:28:17
My, my wife brought this up actually the other day.
00:28:20
She's like, you love working out.
00:28:21
And I'm like, I do not love working out.
00:28:23
Like, if you if you if I hit the option to, like, look like this Yeah.
00:28:28
And not work out a 100%.
00:28:30
How big is, like, the it not to do that.
00:28:32
Yeah.
00:28:32
Apparently lazy, bro.
00:28:33
Yeah.
00:28:33
Me too.
00:28:34
Like, Dave Asbury does some form of that, which I'm like, I don't know.
00:28:38
I don't know if I believe it or not.
00:28:39
He does this, like, 20 20 minute stimulus therapy for his, for his
00:28:44
muscle group.
00:28:45
Have you ever heard of that?
00:28:46
It's, I forget the name of the machine.
00:28:47
It's a machine.
00:28:48
And you get on there.
00:28:49
And essentially, rather than having to do 5 sets of 12 reps of dumbbell press, you push as
00:28:55
hard as you can against resistance, and it matches your push to the point that you fatigue
00:29:01
in one set, but it takes you, like, 30 seconds at the end, something like that, depending on
00:29:04
how much you can put.
00:29:05
But the harder you push, the more it's gonna push back.
00:29:07
So it's gonna match your resistance.
00:29:09
Okay.
00:29:10
The concept is that you get the same of, like, a week's workout weeks worth of workouts in,
00:29:15
like, 20 minutes.
00:29:17
Okay.
00:29:17
But those machines are, like, probably few $10, something like that.
00:29:21
Right?
00:29:21
So you gotta go to these places that have it, but also think then, like, what do you do in
00:29:25
the other 5 days of the week?
00:29:27
He's different.
00:29:28
He's obviously a biohacker who's, like, in tune with his health, but, like, you know, I I like
00:29:32
having that receipt of, like, he also
00:29:34
thinks he's, like, kinda jacked.
00:29:35
And I'm like, yeah.
00:29:38
Yeah.
00:29:38
But he looks good for his age.
00:29:39
Yeah.
00:29:40
But, yeah, I think.
00:29:41
I don't know.
00:29:42
And everyone's genetics.
00:29:44
You know, it's like some people are gonna have, like, v shaped.

00:30:26
Yeah.
00:30:26
Exactly.
00:30:27
And then you're gonna have, like, obviously, there's some guys that either dye their hair or
00:30:32
they're gonna be gray.
00:30:33
It naturally, depending on hair color.
00:30:36
That is gonna you lose your hair.
00:30:37
You're gonna be like, I mean, I was freaking back here until I until I got by by myself
00:30:43
lined up.
00:30:43
Yeah.
00:30:44
But, yeah, I mean, that's that is also you know, there's different modalities.
00:30:49
If you have the money to do so, I Cool.
00:30:52
I do crossfit.
00:30:53
And I do genuinely.
00:30:54
Like, I like the camaraderie of it.
00:30:56
Yeah.
00:30:56
And I think that's what creates the influencer.
00:30:58
You know
00:30:58
what I mean?
00:30:59
The culture, the head type training, the accountability piece, but at the same time, I
00:31:04
don't know.
00:31:04
Like, I, yeah, I probably would not do it.
00:31:06
It's not like it's hard, you know, when you, like, out of breath.
00:31:10
But one of the keys to longevity is, you know, how Can I get my VO 2 max up?
00:31:16
Like, VO 2 max is huge.
00:31:18
True.
00:31:18
And something we'll tap into when we, you know, go into the physical exercise component of
00:31:23
fitness, but Fasting has been a major component.
00:31:26
I do like going into working out nearly in a fasted state.
00:31:30
Yeah.
00:31:31
I they actually always go in a fasted state.
00:31:33
So that's how I work out.
00:31:34
Do you work out fasted?
00:31:35
Sometimes?
00:31:36
Yeah.
00:31:36
Yeah.
00:31:36
Yeah.
00:31:36
Like, if I do a morning workout, I'm not gonna eat before.
00:31:39
There's a concept of, like, fast and then feast.
00:31:42
Right?
00:31:42
So it's like when you're fasting, your body is going to be like clot like shutting down
00:31:47
certain things.
00:31:48
Yeah.
00:31:48
And then when you start eating again, it's gonna almost have, like, this hyper drive of,
00:31:52
like, secreting certain compounds.
00:31:54
Right?
00:31:54
There's a compound called m tour.
00:31:56
Yes.
00:31:56
Mechanistic target of rapamycin, which is also building.
00:32:00
Receptor in the body.
00:32:01
When you fast, it limits your body limits it.
00:32:03
Soon as you eat a meal and if it's a high protein meal, your body's almost like double
00:32:07
down on, like, how much it's gonna turn that on.
00:32:10
And so, like, the protein synthesis revs up.
00:32:12
Yeah.
00:32:12
So you go fasted, you lift, you break down muscle tissue, and then you hit a big meal with
00:32:17
a lot of protein, some good, healthy, simple carbs, or even, like, starches that are gonna,
00:32:22
like, get the insulin pumping, get your body to distribute everything.
00:32:25
Your body will get a higher, will have a higher protein synthesis rate than, you know, if you 8
00:32:32
before that that workout.
00:32:33
How is there a distance between the time then of, like, when you end your workout and where
00:32:39
when you should eat, pay large meal?
00:32:41
The the post workout thing that everyone has always talked about that 30 minute window,
00:32:44
there's so much conflicting data.
00:32:44
They, like, it used to I I think a lot of that was for, like, selling protein shakes.
00:32:51
Oh, okay.
00:32:51
You gotta eat 30 minutes after you're you're worked out 40, but you can't get a meal in
00:32:55
protein shake, bro.
00:32:56
And I think a lot of that was marketing.
00:32:57
Okay.
00:32:57
But there were some studies that backed it up.
00:33:00
I think, like, after a workout, your body is, like, trying to repair right away.
00:33:04
Right?
00:33:05
Like, so, you know, your body's being broken down, it starts repairing instantly.
00:33:09
So that's where, like, even intro workout fuel is good, like, while you're working out,
00:33:13
drinking some kind of, like, complex carbs like Dextrose or or, even like those, even like a
00:33:18
protein shake during the workout, which I don't know if I'll do that because
00:33:21
Well, that's what nutritious, man.
00:33:23
Like, it's something where you're, depleting your carbohydrate source.
00:33:27
Right?
00:33:28
Your body then is asking for glycogen.
00:33:31
It gives you a little bit more focus and allows you to fuel second the back end.
00:33:35
Yeah.
00:33:35
Yeah.
00:33:35
So going into it, that's like a hack, right, for, like, building muscle, going into workout
00:33:39
fasted, and then big protein meal after.
00:33:41
Yeah.
00:33:42
That's fast to feast.
00:33:43
Fast to feast.
00:33:44
I love that.
00:33:45
Yeah.
00:33:45
It's cool.
00:33:46
Let's, let's take anything else
00:33:47
from the audience.
00:33:48
No.
00:33:48
Yeah.
00:33:48
I don't I think that was pretty pretty, comprehensive, man.
00:33:51
Let's see how it sounds good.
00:33:52
What do we got, Blake?
00:33:54
Wow.
00:33:54
That's a nice stack with bastion to make it easier to get to do the auto barrel with car
00:33:59
start.
00:34:01
That's good.
00:34:01
That's a cool question.
00:34:02
Yeah.
00:34:03
I I would say, you know, hydration is always a really big, thing for me because in it fills up
00:34:10
it fills up the stomach with at least water to have some level of satiating, Pete component to
00:34:16
it.
00:34:16
Yeah.
00:34:17
Coffee helps that because caffeine naturally elongates that satiating mentality of, like,
00:34:22
hey, I I probably can go a little bit longer.
00:34:25
So when you have black coffee, that always helps me and kinda builds in.
00:34:29
However, you also don't wanna get it's not throwing, like, 5 cups of coffee into your,
00:34:35
like, fast food state.
00:34:36
That's not what you wanna do.
00:34:38
More water.
00:34:39
I started using hydrogen water.
00:34:41
So we teamed up with, echo, echo water, and that's actually helped me.
00:34:46
I actually really enjoyed Yeah.
00:34:47
The hydrogen hydrogen and hydrogen and rich water.
00:34:52
Sore salt.
00:34:52
Like, I drink that, and then I do coffee and green green tea, actually, now.
00:34:56
Yeah.
00:34:56
I've been doing a lot more, but I don't know what it what it Yeah.
00:34:59
Yeah.
00:35:00
I like to add.
00:35:00
And how much, right, too?
00:35:01
It's like you also a good amount of water.
00:35:05
Another thing that I also started doing in terms of, like, habits is getting water at a
00:35:11
temperature controlled state.
00:35:12
I don't get ultra cold water Right.
00:35:14
Because I don't wanna have to be going bathroom all the time a lot of people don't know this,
00:35:18
but, like, if you drink warmer water, your body naturally can break down that water faster and
00:35:24
then put it and hydrate your body faster, and you're not gonna be as you're not gonna be,
00:35:30
paying nearly as much.
00:35:32
So those are some of the things that I do is like hacks.
00:35:34
Yeah.
00:35:35
I do those as well.
00:35:36
I like the the electrolytes in the water.
00:35:38
That's a big one.
00:35:39
Right?
00:35:39
Electroites, you can skip the coffee.
00:35:41
Like, you're talking about electrolytes, we'll give you energy naturally.
00:35:43
Who
00:35:44
Do you have a brand that you typically?
00:35:46
I know Element is one of them.
00:35:47
Element's cool.
00:35:49
I honestly just do, like, salt, bro.
00:35:51
Salt?
00:35:51
C Salt.
00:35:52
Just some A lassi salt.
00:35:53
Some lassi you plug, right, but it's radiating.
00:35:56
It's all ground right into the water, bro.
00:35:57
Maybe a little pinch of lemon, give it a little flavor, but Yeah.
00:36:00
Yeah, like, I'll before I eat anything, I'll make sure I drink, like, at least 20, 24 ounces
00:36:04
of water.
00:36:05
Yeah.
00:36:05
Big Mason jar, and that's just, like, my morning.
00:36:08
Yeah.
00:36:08
I have.
00:36:09
And then, you know, the question was what habits, what what things can, like, get you
00:36:13
through that.
00:36:13
I think it's, like, using Like, we talked about using that that mental edge that you've now
00:36:18
gained.
00:36:18
So, like, whether it's, like, getting some work done, whether it's being creative, right,
00:36:23
you're gonna unlock some creativity probably with that.
00:36:25
Yeah.
00:36:26
Or or, like, journaling, you know, been and kind of like, like, allowing your body to,
00:36:31
like, use that, that state that it's in.
00:36:34
Yeah.
00:36:34
That's a that's a good one too.
00:36:35
Those are good.
00:36:36
Another hack that I will say, help me.
00:36:39
So I have this, like, water bottle.
00:36:41
That tells you how many ounces you have.
00:36:44
That is super helpful.
00:36:45
That's cool.
00:36:46
Not all because when you're doing that, people naturally, they don't realize it or not, but
00:36:52
there's a level of game ofcation in that.
00:36:54
That is like, I I got I got 16 ounces in, only 16 more to go.
00:36:58
Right?
00:36:58
And it kinda builds you up and you're, like, gamifying, you're drinking water and hydrating.
00:37:03
And hydration is, like, absolutely.
00:37:05
You the reason why you're getting headaches, probably, the root cause on the back end of the
00:37:09
day is likely because you don't have enough hydration here Yeah.
00:37:13
You woke up.
00:37:13
The first thing you put in your body was black coffee.
00:37:16
You had to crap in it.
00:37:17
So you spiked your insulin.
00:37:18
You started di a diuretic effect on your body.
00:37:21
Dehydrating yourself.
00:37:22
So before you even drink coffee, man, water.
00:37:25
That'll be water.
00:37:25
And, we're gonna dive into this, but, like, you know, that's an impact on cortisol levels as
00:37:30
soon as you put caffeinated beverage in there.
00:37:33
Like, get away from the caffeine.
00:37:34
Yep.
00:37:35
First thing, they're not bad.
00:37:36
Caffeine's not bad.
